Houthis in Yemen has warned international shipping companies that any vessels loading or discharging cargo at Saudi Arabian ports risk military targeting. This announcement follows a declared naval blockade on Saudi navigation issued via the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center on Monday, in response to recent airport strikes in Sanaa.

Meanwhile, neighboring countries like Kuwait and Qatar rejected the Houthi maritime embargo, backing international freedom of navigation.
